Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel model that describes how the traffic evolution on a highway stretch is affected by the presence of a service station. The presented model enhances the classical CTM dynamics by adding the dynamics associated with the service stations, where the vehicles may stop before merging back into the mainstream. We name it CTMs. We discuss its flexibility in describing different complex scenarios where multiple stations are characterized by different drivers' average stopping times corresponding to different services. The model has been developed to help design control strategies aimed at decreasing traffic congestion. Thus, we discuss how classical control schemes can interact with the proposed \gls{CTMs}. Finally, we validate the proposed model through numerical simulations and assess the effects of service stations on traffic evolution, which appear to be beneficial, especially for relatively short congested periods.
